Here are some screen captures (I had already uploaded some a few years back) from my copy on super 8 of the full feature.
An amazing print indeed.

Wow Gian- what an incredible print!!

A great movie to watch on the big movie screen, in full cinemascope!

Wish we were neighbors!

James.

If only, James!
I would like to discover if the master was an original 35mm positive in Technicolor (1969 issue - I'm quite sure this was the version used) or if it was the German 1981 re-release . [Roll Eyes]

Gian,

Isn't that if it used German neg release you can see from the credit title that would be in German. As well as the leader will say so.

Ciao Win. Thanks for pointing that. The print itself has German credits, since the master material come from there. Would like to understand if it is the original 1969 release or a re-release. As soon as I know something I will let you know. Ciao!

Thanks 4 re-posting those Gian! Good job and as I said before, a stunning print, and if it looks that good from a screenshot with a camera, imagine the sharpness of it in person.

"Nico" (or whoever he is), really does miss the boat on this, money isn't the object, nor is the perfect sharpness of the image, it's the physicality, it's the romance of film. I too have projection equipment and could watch a sharper digital copy, but I rarely get out my projection TV, but my projector's are constantly running, film grain and all!
